Researchers Create Metal That Resists Cracking in Deep Space Cold
Researchers have engineered a cobalt-nickel-vanadium alloy that stays tough even at –186°C, resisting the brittleness that plagues most metals in extreme cold. Using atomic-scale design, the team created dual structural patterns inside the alloy that block cracks and preserve ductility. In lab tests, the metal absorbed far more strain than conve...

NASA Uses Rocky Mountain Helicopter Drills to Prepare Astronauts for Artemis Moon Missions
NASA has certified a helicopter-based lander training course in Colorado’s Rocky Mountains to prepare Artemis astronauts for Moon missions. The high-altitude terrain creates lunar-like visual illusions, forcing pilots to master landings in dusty, slope-filled conditions. Over two dozen astronauts have now trained in this challenging, realistic si...
